mib 520 mote notes

From Personal One Note notebook:

from TinyOS mailing list

The mib520 appears as two ttyUSB ports, the lower numbered one is for
programming and the higher numbered one is for UART communication. If
you try connecting the serial forwarder to, in your case, /dev/ttyUSB1
it should work.
